Video Symphony Certificate Programs

Video Symphony's Certificate Programs are immersive, comprehensive training programs designed by production professionals. They are geared toward getting you to a working knowledge level within months. Video Symphony has gained significant recognition in the industry for excelling at this.

Certificate Program students benefit from six dimensions of Video Symphony's Job Placement Services, all designed to enhance job-seeking skills as well as providing insights into the entertainment media production industry:

Payday Workshop
"Post Production Marketplace Job Workshop" is a series of workshop sessions and exercises that convey a wealth of proven job-getting techniques, tailored specifically to the industry. We have also developed Connections, a 13- step Web-based job-search guide.

Individual Counseling and Coaching
One-on-one sessions with Job Placement Counselors to assess and guide students as they prepare for launch. Resume-coaching, job-pitch practice and interview role-playing help develop confidence and presentation skills.

Demo Reel Critique
Demo reels prove ability and are an important factor of effective presentations. Our Job Placement experts analyze student demos for clarity of message and impact.

Post Studio Sessions
Real-life projects for Certificate Program students are of significant value on a demo-reel that shows off their capabilities to potential employers. Advanced students participate in the post-production of selected films and documentaries. One recent program broadcasted on PBS and received an Emmy nomination for Best Documentary.

Industry Connections
Job Placement Services actively promotes Video Symphony graduates to post-production companies in Hollywood and elsewhere. Our Job Placement counselors have vast experience as a talent representative and program producer for a major agency. They actively promote Video Symphony graduates to post-production companies in Hollywood and elsewhere. We maintain close association with hundreds of studios, post facilities and producers. Companies occassionally contact Video Symphony before advertising available jobs elsewhere.

Active Job Leads
Certificate Program students and graduates receive job leads from Placement Services via Gigs of the Week email. "Time-sensitive" leads are immediately emailed or phoned to alert qualified graduates.

Both working professionals and novices benefit from our Certificate Programs. Each Certificate program is a seamlessly-matched set of courses that, when successfully completed, cover every aspect of a particular software group. For examples, take a look at the TV & Film Editing or Pro Tools Certificate Program descriptions and suite of classes. A full Certificate Program experience includes a series of many classes, generous amounts of hands on time in our labs, a production demo "reel", career counseling, and job placement assistance, all packaged together in affordable fashion. Depending on your prior life experience, you can purchase all or just portions of our Certificate Programs. Several financial options are available to students. Most of our programs are modular and do not require a set starting date, for maximum flexibility for busy schedules.

Video Symphony's Certificate Programs are expressly devoted to the specific training needed to successfully compete in the Hollywood-level post-production job market.

Graduates of Video Symphony Programs, such as TV & Film Editing and Pro Tools Audio Engineering programs, are fortified with hundreds of hours of skill-specific training, and experience working on real productions, a winning combination of advantages.

We keep a sharp eye on training scene trends. For example, we see that film school graduates are signing up for Video Symphony programs because they discovered they did not acquire the practical skills that make potential employers take notice for specific jobs like film / video editing or sound editing.
